@JustAnotherSapphic. Just because you're not sitting on a stool here doesn't mean you're not still part of the family. Keep being your beautiful talented self.

I believe in you, even when you don't believe in yourself.

Thanks for that; I really needed it. Been kinda blocked lately, writing wise, which sucks cause I have more ideas than I know what to do with.

...and in other news, I fell down the Tom Petty rabbit hole back in March and I can't get enough. He gives my soul a rush and I live for it.

Quote by Twisted_Skald

Evening all, hope you're all doing well.

I've missed being here, chatting with you all.

You're amazing people and totally wonderful.

I can't believe I missed you...but then, I haven't exactly been too active here lately either so...

...so my boyfriend sent me a care package a few weeks ago and now I have some new toys to play with. One of them was something I didn't think I'd like but after trying it I've found that it just might be my favorite.

My boyfriend's heart. 🥰😘

Why am I so weak for classic rockstars? And why do I love it so much?

Y'all...I love my boyfriend so much.

I can't explain it other than that he makes me happy in ways that rival Tommy.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

That’s so great! You inspire me to have more courage on dating sites.

What dating site? We met on Facebook...he and I are members of the same Tom Petty group.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Awww, that’s great!!! ❤️

Right? Him slid into my dm's, I added him as a friend, then I spent about a week ignoring him's messages cause I was too shy to say anything...but then I found my courage 'n we've been inseparable ever since.

Y'all, I met someone cause of Tommy. He 'n I are in the same group on fb and we've been a thing for a few weeks now.

Tommy makes a great wingman, y'all. Like I met someone cause of him, sort of.

No, I haven't died. Real life caught up to me for awhile.

Quote by ebonysummer

I have nothing to say lol. I’m new and don’t know anyone well yet but Reese has been so nice to me. I hope y’all welcome strangers here lol

Welcome. I'm Lysari.

...and to the rest of y'all, no, I've not died. Real life stuff caught up to me for a bit.

Not sure where I'm goin' with my current story, but at tke same time, I miss writin' pure smut so I'll be seein' what I can do with that in a bit.

So I may or may not have another story in the works after a few weeks of going nowhere with any of my unfinished WIPs. Where it will be posted depends on how it progresses.

Quote by CapaillMark

Hey, just saying hello. Long time lurker/reader but just now finally summoned up the courage to post a story so thought I'd grab a drink in here while it winds its way through the queue. How long is it taking at the minute? I guess it's slower with people on holidays?

I've have a beer please.

Welcome. I'm Lysari.

I'd tell you to pull,up a chair (or a stool if you've got good balance) but you seem to have done so already.

I got more love for Tommy than I got brain cells at this point.

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

(wakes briefly to say…)

Hey folks! Lysari has a new story posted, and it's a good one.

Give it a read and some love, 'K?

Seven Minutes Or More In Heaven With You

(falls back to sleep)

Thanks for that. All I'm gonna say is, it helps to have as wonderful a muse as I do.

God, that was a weird dream.

Quote by ReesesPieces

Hello all.....Thank you for that wonderful introduction, Mr Bare, or was that Bear.....I certainly hope I can live up to those expectations. As James said, I am returning to Lush after a long sabbatical to find that a lot has changed around here. One constant seems to be this place and its denizens of fine literature, awful coffee, and wonderful snacks. I hope to make a few friends here to chat with from time to time and to just offer my own perspective to the room. I hope to interact with as many of you as possible as time goes on.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Reese

Welcome back. I'm Lysari. I think I joined after you left but that's okay.

Head empty. No thoughts; only Tommy.

Quote by Seeker4

That could be interesting. Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen, IIRC) in the Bond movie Goldeneye killed men with her thighs but, yeah, not that way.

Either way, it was definitely not anythin' I was goin' for. Here's hopin' it gets approved.

So I'm working on my next story like normal and then...autocorrect tried to make me say one person wanted to strangle the other's thighs instead of straddling them.

Somethin' must be in the air or somethin' cause I woke up absolutely feral over Tommy today. Probably doesn't help that somebody referred to him as 'my bad boy' last week, either.

Guess who has to amend their previous statement.

I'm definitely havin' an existential crisis over the Beatles. Paul's doe eyes finally won me over 'n now...whoops.

Ringo leaves me Starrstruck.

No, I haven't died...but I have been caught up in irl stuff for a bit on top of bein' in the middle of a Beatles-themed existential crisis of sorts.

Y'all know I love Ringo 'n George, right? Well...in the last few weeks or so, I've come to realize I'm a bit in love with John too.

(And before anyone asks 'what about Paul,' no. I don't like him and I most likely never will - him's a bit too phony for my taste.)

Despite the fact that I share a lot of pictures of George Harrison to my fb, Ringo has actually been my favorite Beatle since I was five and watchin' him as Mr. Conductor in 'Shining Time Station.'

...only difference is that now my feelings definitely aren't that innocent anymore.

Funny story, y'all. My mom thought my favorite Beatle was Ringo for years and it's only now that I think she's right.

Which leads me to think that Georgie, while I do like him a lot, was my beard (so to speak) for the feelings I actually have for Ringo.

Quote by TonyaL

It's been quite awhile. Missing my friends and really wanted to pop in and say hi. Resting today after receiving some injections yesterday. Life is busy as always. My littley is almost double digits and keeps me so busy. We have a dance comp this weekend that we are excited to get away for. She will be performing 2 contemporary solos, 2 trios (1 tap and 1 lyrical), and 1 production routine. Her recital is in 2 weeks which she will be doing 10 dance over 3 shows. Her production in all 3 shows, 2 solos, tap trio, contemporary trio, ballet, jazz, hip hop, acro, lyrical, That will be a really busy 2 days. Last month she completely changed her hair and looks like a teenager on me. Im.not ready for this. M⁰y grandsons are all growing too fast as well. They are 1, almost 3, and 4. The oldest is playing teeball and the middle one is learning how to ride and wants a dirt bike for his birthday. What's going on with everyone here. It would take me more forever to read everything I've missed over the last several months. I hope everyone is doing well. Please don't be afraid to drop me a line now and then. I'd really love to hear from you. Hugs to all my favorite lushies here at rumpies

Welcome back, Tonya.

I really need to edit my profile and such to show this but...I'm kinda having a passionate affair with Tom Petty at the moment, so to speak.

Tommy was in my dreams last night.

Him was walkin' round my local grocery store and I wanted so badly to talk to him but I was too shy. The weird part is that I was convinced it wasn't him; just someone who looked like him.

...but it was and I woke up mad that I was too shy even in my dreams.
